Following up from our email conversation, we had a phone call. I wanted to ask her a few questions on applying for internships/work experience and what kind of things do they look for in portfolios.
Working at DK was one of her best experiences as she really enjoyed designing illustrations for books including Mary Berry as part of the life, book and drink section. She applied for the internship via the random house website. She also mentioned that they tend to look for people outside of the London so they get more variety. In terms of portfolio - she mentioned that the more variety the better as it shows as a designer you are more diverse. In the interview process it's pretty much a conversation about who you are as an individual and less about your experience/skills - they look to hire someone who is motivated and willing to learn.
I asked Kate if we could connect on Linked In so we could keep in contact for future communications and further advice, maybe even a collaboration who knows!
